"It is written in a style that provides a first port of call for any undergraduate or novice analysing the perios, while supplying enough detail to keep experienced scholars stimlated" - Rosetta

"This book will fulfil its primary function very well and serve as an excellent introduction to Byzantine history and culture both for the novice who requires a broad overview of developments and for the expert in one or more areas who wishes to expand his or her knowledge into others"

"it is a magnificent work which will be an invaluable help to all students of Byzantium. In times of crisis, this compliment is worth more than before - the handbook is worth every penny (or cent)spent on it." - Przemyslaw Marciniak, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies is a useful, one volume reference work that would well serve both the scholar and general reader with an interest in Byzantine culture." - John Courteas, Acton Institute PowerBlog

"the book has been carefully edited. It is to be recommended as a well-informed and wide coverage of the present state of Byzantine studies, which students and anyone interested in the lost civilization of the Eastern Roman Empire should have in their library" - Cécile Morrisson, CNRS, Paris and Dumbarton Oaks
